Busy times

I'm still making things for this weekend at The Festival of Country Life in Lamport. But whilst things are printing I thought I would update you all. These are some more newbies.......






The turquoise flower is mine!

Iv already set up my stall this afternoon. Think I'm going to ponder over this photo and have a think! It might me totally changed round tomorrow.

Felted Flowers.......

It's been a busy week of course work and orders, but I managed to have a play with some new things this week.

This is the bag and flower brooch that I'm planning to do at my workshops. This workshop is filling up and there are only 2 places left. I'm planning to do scarf and Christmas themed workshops before Christmas........... dates to follow.






I'm defiantly in a flower mood this week!









Well I hope these pictures have given you a boost of colour and I hope that you all have a lovely weekend.

Awaited model photos

Here's some real life models with The Woodland Fairy costume on and the Fairy Slippers.





Thank you so much to Sophie and Olivia for doing this for me.

Iv finally made a date for my first Feltmaking Workshop

Iv been badgered for years to do felting workshops and finally iv found a date in my diary and booked the venue. Im quite excited to get back into my teaching role again. I havent taught since just before having my littleone. Over the past few weeks iv been helping some members of the course that im doing and realised this was telling me something!!!



The first workshop is making a handbag and flower corsage brooch. Its a one day workshop on Sunday 22nd August at St Johns Community Centre, Enderby, Leicester. Not far from Junction 21 of the M1.
No experience is required and it will be a small friendly workshop of 8 people. There will be hot and cold drinks with biscuits and homemade cake for a bit of a treat.
I will have a little shop for anyone wanting to buy some materials to take home and play with.

It seems ages away, but this year really does seem to be going fast!

New things...........

Here are some quick pic's of the latest things Iv been working on.

I absolutely love this wool from Sara Texture Crafts..... A light weight shawl for the chilly evenings.



Rainbow summer scarf



I used silk chiffon on both the ends to give a texture and weight.



More pencil rolls



Basket of purses, ready for the stall...




I'm saving the cutest till last....

Fairy Slippers!!
These are towards my course to go with the fairy dress I made. There just cute!! Unfortunately not big enough for my daughter to wear. This was my first time in making slippers and iv defiantly learnt some lessons....... quite proud of them!!
